You be the judge

These are a couple of pics of Eli and one of my mom a little older than him right now. It's so funny how I see Chris and his dad a lot in Eli's face but this pic of my mom shows how much he also looks like a Blackburn (which is my mom's family).

Like father, like sons...

We have been enjoying Christmas break and having Chris at home for a few days before baseball season gets into full swing. All this time with daddy has been packed full of shopping, playing, looking at Christmas lights, attending Christmas parties, etc. We are worn out from all this daddy time! I took these pics yesterday while we were driving back home from Gwinnett. Looking around as I was driving, I couldn't help but laugh at how much they all look alike as they slept.

since i'm a shutterfly freak...

here is 1 of 2 of our christmas cards. most of you who read this blog will be getting a different card so it will still be a surprise. hope everyone is enjoying the christmas season. my goal this year is to enjoy and savor and not get stressed. we shall see if that happens.

Crazy days

Well... We have celebrated Chris's 30th birthday, our 6th wedding anniversary, had a stomach virus make it around the whole Bluster family, (no Thanksgiving for the Aks), got our Christmas trees, celebrated my Papa's 80th birthday and his and my Nana's 60th wedding anniversary, visited with family and good friends, oh yeah, and have had 3 ear infections! So we have been quite busy which means no time at the computer. Here are some pics from our adventures.

This is my grandpa's good friend greeting him at the Rexall Grill for his 80th surprise birthday party.

Ella showing us how good she can sit up.

Cute little family of four. Rob and Mere with their Christmas tree.

Fiddle playing 101. Mere is determined for Eli to play the fiddle. He is very musical...we shall see if he can pick it up.

My best friend from high school, Shelly, (still a bestie!) and our kiddos.
